Senior🎓
Top SchoolXin Rong is a PhD student at the University of Michigan with 12 years of experience at the intersection of HCI, NLP, and AI, focused on improving how people read and write through language modeling, text mining, and intelligent writing assistants. He combines deep research on language networks with practical systems skills—locality sensitive hashing, MapReduce, interactive visualization, and GUI design—gained through internships at Google and Microsoft and product leadership on a faculty-impact metrics web service. Xin aims to transition to an assistant professorship or an industrial research lab role where he can bridge user-centered design and scalable language technology. Notably, his work emphasizes making complex models usable in real-world writing workflows rather than only maximizing benchmark scores.
